Algorithmic 'soft sensors' boost Newcrest's gold-mining productivity
By Osisoft on Apr 27, 2021 4:06PM Data mining pays off for actual mining as gold giant doubles down on digital transformation. A cohort of Newcrest Mining engineers are pursuing postgraduate qualifications in data science after their interest was piqued by a transformative, data-driven process project that has dramatically boosted mine production and paid for itself in three months. Leveraging a host of Internet of Things (IoT) sensors to reinforce unpredictable and often-damaged physical sensors, the project was undertaken to reduce expensive downtim...
